Authority Zero To Release 8th Studio Album ‘Ollie Ollie Oxen Free’

Fresh off the release of their latest EP, The Back Nine, long-running Mesa, AZ-based melodic reggae punks Authority Zero have now announced a June 18th release date for their eighth studio full length, Ollie Ollie Oxen Free. The 13 track album was recorded by Cameron Webb and features guest appearances by Jim Lindberg (Pennywise) and Iagri Shuhei (Hey-Smith).

Ollie Ollie Oxen Free takes a line from hide and seek to encourage fans to leave the COVID-19 depression behind and celebrate life. During the pandemic, singer Jason DeVore saw families torn apart by political views and COVID-19. Now that the divide has somewhat subsided, it’s time to come out and be yourself again.

The phrasing in the title track stems from the idea of ‘come out, come out, wherever you are. It keeps the positive side of 2020 in mind. People have been trapped within themselves, depressed, inside of their houses. We’re separated, politically, between the left and right. It’s a matter of come out, feel free and feel a sense of no fear in some regard.”
